Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
I phoned up F and S (in the UK) earlier today and the Oct releases came in today. I notice that Hannants still have them as a future release but I bet they will appear over the next few days.
The price of oil is very low now and the £ is lower than a few weeks ago. British importers are probably cautious so as not to be caught out by price changes when the oil prices and so on factor in. This will have a bigger impact on goods from China.
Retailers want the cash flow so they want things as soon as possible to complete customer orders. For my part I can wait and I just hope our hobby manufacturers and retailers can pull through these difficult times.
I'll be adding the excellent dismounted Mongols to my collection, no question. Of course, there's still room for a set composed entirely of the most numerous Mongol troop type - unarmoured light cavalry archers. The Zvezda and (2) Italeri sets missed the mark by a country mile with all their heavies and mediums...
New sets are exciting and have big wow factor.Right out of teh blue.
Streletes SURE have helped open up the dark corridors of eastern european wars and also make some key link sets that will help expansion of interest in others.
Bravo...
I don´t like the Russian Levy´s! The Poses are really sad and seen 1000 Times...! Nothings new, like a Commander, Dead Peasants, other Fighting Poses...!
I hope that the Zveazda Peasant Army came out shorty!!!!!
